Students and teachers at Cannonvale State School have been enjoying the new administration and resource centre building for several months now and they were thrilled to give Education Minister Grace Grace a tour of the new facility earlier this week.
During the morning, Minister Grace officially opened the building, revealing a commemorative plaque.
“This wonderful building meets the needs of the growing school community, which has increased in enrolments from around 600 in 2013 to around 840 students today,” Ms Grace said.
“The school now has a high-quality administration and resource centre, located at the front of the school, providing a welcoming space for everyone entering the school grounds.”
The old building has been completely refurbished and now holds six new classrooms with a lift to ensure accessibility.
These additional learning rooms will be able to cater for the expected growth of the school.
The new resource centre provides an administration area, offices, two first aid rooms, spaces for the leadership team, conference room, staff room and amenities as well as housing all the learning resources for the entire school.
“The new building is absolutely amazing,” said Principal Angie Kelly.
“It really has changed everyone’s lives, creating a warm and welcoming learning environment that meets the needs of a large school.”
During construction of the facility around 30 jobs were supported, 22 of which were apprentices who worked directly onsite.
While visiting the region, Minister Grace took a tour of Proserpine State High School’s $19.5 million Performing Arts Centre, STEM building and other recent refurbishments which included multiple learning spaces and an administration building.
Proserpine State High School Principal, Don McDermid, said the new facilities had been very welcomed.
“It’s simply fantastic for all our students and staff to have these modern facilities,” said Principal McDermid.
“The building work done in recent years at our school has really made a huge difference.”
